KitchenAid 30" Concave Glass Wall Mount Range Hood Use & Care Manual

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems 

when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of 

air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. 

Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in 

your area.

This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof 

or wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation 

(not included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent 

creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly 

reduce performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. 

To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the 

outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) 

version, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and 

vapors are recycled through the top grille.

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the 

equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

45° elbow

2.5 ft (0.8 m)

90° elbow

5 ft (1.5 m)

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

The following example falls within the maximum 

recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

1 - 90° elbow

= 5 ft (1.5 m)

1 - wall cap

= 0 ft (0 m)

8 ft (2.4 m) straight

= 8 ft (2.4 m)

Length of system

= 13 ft (3.9 m)

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in 

conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 

70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian 

Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) 

and all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, 

it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine 

that the ground path is adequate.

If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the 

procedure below:
1.  Connect a section of solid copper wire to the 

pigtail leads.

2.  Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section 

of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools 

designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended 

procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with 

local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

 

■

Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of 

the appliance as specified on the model/serial/rating plate. 

The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the left filter 

on the rear wall of the range hood.
